Sandbox - 7apr19

[Back from travel. I hope that some of our readers have been following the trail and travail of foreign correspondent and journalist Lara Logan, recently of '60 Minutes' fame. She is causing quite a consternation in the lamestream media who have targeted her for destruction since she has blown the whistle on the whole progressives' propaganda machine. Her interview on tonight's Mark Levin show was superb. gjr]

“A newly released transcript of Baker’s October, 2018 testimony reveals the former top bureau lawyer said messages between the two lovers “worried” him and that he was concerned whether some decisions in the Clinton email investigation may have been “driven by political bias.”

“Baker told Congress, “So I only read like a couple [Strzok/Page text messages], literally a couple. But that was enough for me to hear, that it freaked me out. And I was worried and I thought we need to get on top of this quickly.”

I really don’t care, but using the exact same poll with the exact same polling outlet at the exact same time in their Presidencies, Trump is stomping Obama...not that it matters.

Just sit back at let them form into their circular firing squad. Reparations.

You have clarified my concern that you have no interest in facts only your own peculiar spin. The FACTS are that Trump has fallen 14 points since Jan 2017 pure and simple. I'll continue to bring that up when necessary.

Squawk, squawk, squawk is all it sounds like to the world oh great pony tail of ignorance. Just a broken record after 2 years of pompous pronouncements of the imminent end to the Trump Presidency. Now you are all shown to be self deluding liars and fools.

I looks like only a retired Pope can tell the whole truth of the problems origin -

It’s written with his signature precision and clarity of insight and offers a piercing account of the origins of the crisis and a ­vision of the way forward.
The church’s still-radiating crisis, Benedict suggests, was a product of the moral laxity that swept the West, and not just the church, in the 1960s. The young rebels of 1968, Benedict writes, fought for “all-out sexual freedom, one which no longer conceded any norms.”

Benedict adds: “Part of the physiognomy of the Revolution of 1968 was that pedophilia was now also diagnosed as allowed and appropriate.” This might strike contemporary readers as puzzling. But those who lived through that wretched decade will remember that some of the leading ’68ers also advocated “anti-authoritarian education,” which involved some pretty ­unsavory interactions between adults and children. Hippie communes weren’t child-friendly places, either.

“I have always wondered how young people in this situation could approach the priesthood and accept it, with all its ramifications,” Benedict writes. “The extensive collapse of the next generation of priests in those years and the very high number of laicizations were consequence of all these processes.”

The church, in other words, was no more immune to the disorders of that decade and its aftermath than the rest of society.

How come? Benedict blames clerics and theologians who, in the ­aftermath of Vatican II, abandoned natural law — the notion that morality is written into ­human nature itself and can therefore be grasped by human reason — in favor of a more “pragmatic” ­morality.
Under the new dispensation, “there could no longer be anything that constituted an ­absolute good, any more than anything fundamentally evil; there could only be relative moral judgments.”

You are basing that on the flawed Rasmussen Poll that was 9 points off the mark in the last election. Consensus polls for RCP and Nate Silver all have him down by around 9. If you have faith in Rasmussen then you are supporting weak information but in reality who cares what you think.

Last week: We must protect. Mueller!
This week: We must subpoena Mueller!

Here’s the talking points from the Botox Queen: Barr is off the rails!

“Let me just say how very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement officer of our country is going off the rails yesterday and today,” Pelosi told reporters as she kicked off House Democrats' annual “issues” retreat at a golf resort 35 miles northwest of Washington.

“Asked if she has confidence that Barr will fairly conduct his investigation into how the FBI carried out their Russia probe, Pelosi offered a terse, one-word answer: “No.””
———-
More talking points:

Barr “is the attorney general of the United States of America, not the attorney general of Donald Trump.” ——the Botox Queen

So 0's WH council is brought down by the Presidents NY street fighter sharks non-Trump shenanigans.

We are actually seeing the system right itself. A big DC fish at the heart of 0's administration is the first domino to fall no the day the AG says those bitches spied on an opposition political campaign.

Holder, Lynch, 0 etal will push Hoover and the Watergate pikers off the pages of dirty political history at the highest levels of infamy. Barr is going to have fun being the clean up man who knows every nook and cranny in the swamp. Sweet!

Prausner says “right-wing kids” are aware that they should keep their family lives private, but she adds that a telltale sign of right-wing extremism is that there are usually no American logos on their parents’ clothing.

This is not to say there aren’t visual signs which can indicate a child is from a right-wing family, however, the researcher points out. Prausner warns that, while most people wouldn’t recognise them as such, “accurate braids and long skirts” serve as a warning sign that a child has right-wing parents.

Hey Steve......or any of the OZZ co-pilots. Once you get tired of the environmental shakedown racket I think that you could have a bright future in writing for lefty German parents periodicals!

Bad day for Trump His buddy Jullian Assange has been busted in England. Here's just a few quotes from Trump praising Wikileaks. Taking advantage of Wikileaks stolen emails during the campaign makes Trump an accessory to a crime.

October 10, 2016 in Wilkes-Barre, PA: "This just came out," Trump said. "WikiLeaks, I love WikiLeaks."
October 12, 2016 in Ocala, FL: "This WikiLeaks stuff is unbelievable," Trump said. "It tells you the inner heart, you gotta read it."
October 13, 2016 in Cincinnati, OH: "It's been amazing what's coming out on WikiLeaks."
October 31, 2016 in Warren, MI: "Another one came in today," Trump said. "This WikiLeaks is like a treasure trove."
November 4, 2016 in Wilmington, OH: "Getting off the plane, they were just announcing new WikiLeaks, and I wanted to stay there, but I didn't want to keep you waiting," said Trump. "Boy, I love reading those WikiLeaks."

“”I’m so proud of the work of Chairman Adam Schiff, in stark contrast to the irresponsible, almost criminal behavior of the previous chair of the committee,” Pelosi said in Schiff’s defense during a press conference last month, referring to the past chairmanship of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), another staunch Trump ally.”

Cheerful kids are dangerous, roflma. Thanks, made my day. Yes, the Leftinistas are a glum lot. Danger Will Robinson, cheerful kids, danger! Being glum and unfun is the first sign of a Progressive Green Libertarian Socialcrat....as well as the last sign.

Guess they pop over here just to do their daily vomit on our happy feet.

But, enough about the addicted to outrage freaky types. Laughter is the best medicine.

“White House National Security Adviser John Bolton could not stop laughing when played a clip of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) discussing her opposition to "tactile" nuclear weapons on the campaign trail.

“Bolton was played the clip of Gillibrand, which was caught by the Washington Free Beacon on Monday, during an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt. Gillibrand twice refers to "tactile" nuclear weapons, saying the administration's embrace of them was reason enough for her to oppose the entire National Defense Authorization Act. Gillibrand was likely attempting to discuss tactical nuclear weapons.

“Bolton, after collecting himself, said he is willing to take a meeting with Gillibrand to hear her thoughts on our nuclear arsenal.

"As national security adviser, I don’t get involved in politics, but I’ll just say maybe Senator Gillibrand could give me a call and tell me what she knows about those tactile nuclear weapons," Bolton said. "I’d be interested in learning it."

So fish in your view it's ok to use stolen material during a political campaign.

Hey everybody look who's here.....it's Matlock!

OK Palooka.....do you have any proof that Trump used Wikileaks material in the lead up to the election? Second, if proof does exist and that is indeed a crime why hasn't he been charged with something by now?

The American hating, anti-Semite, jihadi just cant help herself from showing her true colors -

The New York Post on Thursday escalated the situation, publishing a jarring image of the Twin Towers on its front page, taking her quote out of its context. President Trump's campaign quickly shared the image.
At a Council on American-Islamic Relations fundraiser in Woodland Hills, Calif., last month, Omar said the organization “was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.” (CAIR was actually founded in 1994. According to the Washington Post.

When something is published by the mainstream or others and it is picked up and used in campaign material it is perfectly legal. Just like Paul Emery and his p[als made up stuff on my project to try and defeat Fran Grattan. But he seems to have forgotten he did it himself. What a friggin hypocrite.

You're going way back on that one. The truth is ugly. Do you really want to go there?

You are the one who pulled your project because you didn't have the votes not even with a Republican majority in the Supes. Dave Tobiasson himself, a friend of mine and a Republican pulled his support. Don't continue to embarrass yourself.

Is not the ownership of land by the federal government restricted to that which is needed for government facilities, maintain national security and waterways to promote interstate commerce? All other federal lands in acquired territories are supposed to revert to the states as they acquire statehood. The Constitution does not grant the federal government any land rights beyond that.

So how can the Bundy family's assertion about state ownership of the land be "delusional"? The federal government has perpetuated an illegal land grab for over two centuries.

"We've pretty much agreed on an enforcement mechanism, we've agreed that both sides will establish enforcement offices that will deal with the ongoing matters," Mnuchin said, adding that there were still important issues for the countries to address.

I wonder who really gives a shit about the years-long debate between PaulE and ToddJ about the latter's career in county politics. Have either of them considered email as an alternative conveyance for their mudball match?

If you want to see and hear a brave person, go watch Candace Owens in her testimony to Fatty Arbuckle, errr, Gerald Nadler and his bogus committee. She is a rock star.

PaulE 1115am - Yep. That's my general opinion. However, since California is such a f#%k3d up state, with legions of imbeciles in Sacramento, maybe we could make an exception and leave the feds as custodians of the state's national forests. (In my studies of free-world governments, CA ranks near the bottom with regard to policies, planning, and practice. You have to go to Zimbabwe or Venezuela to do worse.)

You either support states rights in this matter or you don't. You imply that States have to go through some kind of screening process to exercise their States Rights. What in the Constitution justifies that process?

It is good to remember that the Leftinistas do not want to debate the Right nor do they desire to win righties over by facts and rational arguments. Nay, they just want to destroy us.

“I would argue that O’Neil, a seasoned writer, communicated his intent quite clearly. He expressed regret over his own missed opportunity for fantasized revenge and suggested others finding themselves in a similar position would do well to strike while the iron is hot. And remember, bodily fluids aren’t just gross, they can carry diseases. “

Paul Emery | 11 April 2019 at 10:50 AM Dave Tobiassen did not pull his support. Fake news again by a fake news man. I decided it was more important to have Fran elected than for a continuing battle with you hypoctite liberals. So I did pull it after I had a five -0 vote from from the pC. (Iid get built later) Why not admit that all this "outrage" you have now about no housing or printing fake news and polls is simply you and no one else. It might be a cleaning for you soul to admit you are a full-blown hypocrite on most issues here.

Dorry GeoregR but these libs don't change their stripes and I am simply [pointing that out. Right here in river city.

Oh my. AOC said the reason hundreds of thousands of Central Americans are leaving their homes and making the trek Norte is because of a Climate Change caused drought in El Salvador. Hmmm. I reckon the hordes of Central Americans fleeing Climate Change are not familiar with CA (and our Southwest’s) long historical record of droughts.
Kinda like Goldilocks. Mexico is too hot, Canada is too cold, but the USA is just right.

Always a silver lining. We are beginning to make some progress with Scenes’ Gal.

I have placed my concerns about the lack of management of the BLM lands in Nevada County. Many acres are untended and fires waiting for a spark. And many surround Nevada City. Go up Gracie Road and check it out if you don't believe they are terrible land managers. So I suggest you all tell the County CEWO about your concerns and tell the idiots that run the BLM as well.

"So George you are in favor of all of California's National Forrest's to revert to State of California management and policy?"

I outed Forrest Tucker as a Forrest with national stature in a previous post. Perhaps an early American Forrest should be mentioned here... Thomas Forrest, Gentleman, a financier of the Virginia Company and married to one of the first two European women to arrive in the new world.

Well George you imply that California may not be compe4tant to manage the forests so I'm asking what would the "screening process" be that makes that determination for each State and who would conduct it? Courts, Feds, President, Congress etc.

"The law punishes hacking under the computer crime statutes. These crimes carry penalties ranging from a class B misdemeanor (punishable by up to six months in prison, a fine of up to $1,000, or both) to a class B felony (punishable by up to 20 years in prison, a fine of up to $15,000, or both)."

PaulE 139pm - Oh give me a break, I don't know. I was making a statement about the incompetency of CA's government. There's probably no reasonable screening process that the current CA could pass to demonstrate its ability to sustainably husband any natural resource.

AVMasn 213pm - You're determined not to enter the conversation about fed v states land management, are you?

AV Man....keep up with your it’s a nothingburger narrative. Nothing to see here. At least your stupidity is unchanging. Judging by the scandalous state of education you participated in wrecking and the fakenews that constantly oozes out of pie hole, it makes sense. Garbage in, garbage out.

Don't be pissin off the Pastors! She puts her feet in her mouth so often she gargles with antifungals -

The leader of an organization of black pastors directly addressed Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, insisting she “stop co-opting the civil rights movement” to advance her political agenda.
Rev. William Owens, president of the Coalition of African American Pastors (CAAP), said it was necessary for those who marched in America’s civil rights movement to defend it against the efforts of individuals, such as Ocasio-Cortez, who are co-opting their sacrifice.

“Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has fallen into the bad habit of comparing her political goals to the American civil rights movement,” said Owens in a press statement. “While it is obvious she understands the importance of that movement, she does not seem to realize that her statements trivialize the work of those who marched.”

Bessie-
Door step cannabis delivery approved in Nevada City today. Ahh those were the good old days when you thought you could cram your personal beliefs down other people's throats. Pro choice is a great thing about America, unless of course you believe your way is the only way.

He had no credibility to begin with Ozz so he's underwater. Doesn't make any difference to the Circle of Jerks though. It won't be very long and he'll be out of there and gone. Only a year and a half to go.

Paul 3:14-
For the sake of this nation I hope you're right Paul, but the Dems better get their act together. This is their election to lose, and they're working overtime to lose it. At this point our best hope is that a Romney splits the Red vote. . . and that isn't a platform on which I want the next election based.

The news keeps getting worse for the Trumpers-rebellion from the Conservatives.

"In her latest op-ed in the Washington Post, conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin trashes the Trump administration for failing to disclose the Presidents taxes.

President Trump insists that he can’t reveal his taxes because he’s being audited.

Rubin notes that Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin’s refusal to honor Congress’s wishes is the latest Trumpian attack on the rule of law.

“The announcement that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin would not provide six years of President Trump’s tax returns by the deadline given by the House Ways and Means Committee chairman was just the latest in a long series of egregious attacks on the rule of law,” Rubin writes.

“Perhaps it felt more egregious than some because the law at issue is so clear (the Treasury Department “shall” provide them) and the administration’s conduct is so indefensible.”

"GOP senators face an inflection point, as they weigh how hard to try to contain the president.

In addition to confronting Trump on his purge at the Department of Homeland Security and his threat to deploy auto tariffs and keep existing levies, GOP senators hope they can persuade the president to avoid nominating Cuccinelli or Kris Kobach, another immigration hard-liner, to lead DHS. They also want Trump to drop plans to nominate Herman Cain to the Federal Reserve and are considering whether to challenge Stephen Moore's nomination to the Fed.

“We’re trying to do everything we can to send the message before they send these people up here,” said a Republican senator who 20 seconds later lamented a separate problem: Trump’s “trade nightmare.”

It’s an unusual time in Trump’s Washington, with a Senate Republican majority that’s been at odds with the president for months now — and with GOP senators increasingly comfortable in trying to ward off what they see as Trump’s worst impulses. It’s an inflection point, with Senate Republicans weighing how hard to try to contain the president."

Nah Ozz Biden will come in and everyone else will go home. I'm hoping he picks Amy Klobuchar for veep. The common cause is to beat Trump. Should be an easy win
